chickenlass Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I have just been very brave and held the chickens while my husband trimmed their wings for me. I was terrified he would hurt them or worse still that I would hold them too tightly and then strangle or crush them. We were only going to do one today and then one tomorrow but it went so well that we got all three done one after the other. I know this will seem pretty stupid to experienced chicken keepers on here but I was terrified. lol Feeling very pleased with myself now.

Guest Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I totally understand how you feel. I haven't done ours since they arrived in September 2005. I'm too nervous! So really well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMO Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Well done! I distract mine with a pot of sweetcorn and they just let me get on with it! AMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Well done. First time is always the hardest. I usually do it in the evening when they are starting to get a bit dozy. So long as you are calm about it they will be too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Well done you it's very nerve wracking isn't it? being so up close and personal so to speak! When I first put an anti peck ring on Prada I was shaking like a leaf when I'd finished - and yes, I did pour myself a rather large glass of wine!!!

little cluckers Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 oh oh Where can i get an anti peck ring from? I'm quite desperate as one of our girls is being bullied. Thanks ps well done on the wing clipping, It took 3 of us to do one of ours and then a friend came around who was experienced with chickens and made me look a real wuss! as he did the other two by himself and made it look so easy!
